Requires reporting of positive cytomegalovirus results
This bill requires local health departments to report positive cytomegalovirus (CMV) test results in newborns. Upon notification of a positive result, the health department must contact the newborn's pediatrician and parents. If the initial positive is from a saliva test, a confirmatory urine test is mandated for newborns up to three weeks old. If confirmed positive, parents must be referred to a pediatric infectious disease specialist for a comprehensive examination, including specific medical evaluations, before the newborn reaches four weeks of age, with the health department ensuring this referral is completed. Additionally, cytomegalovirus will be added to the list of designated communicable diseases.
